11 Best 3D Games Courses on Coursera

Choosing a 3D games course on Coursera can feel overwhelming with many similar titles. This page lists eleven courses that focus on Unity, the industry‑standard engine for building 2D and 3D games on a range of platforms, including Android. All courses are offered through Coursera at a listed price of $49.00 each, and the selection includes beginner‑friendly introductions, focused scripting tracks, and more intensive projects that aim to develop practical skills in a short timeframe.

The courses differ mainly in their structure and emphasis. Some, like "Unity Android Game Development — Build Seven 2D and 3D Games" and "Master Unity Android Game Development in 30 Days," target mobile development, while others such as "Master C# Scripting for Unity in 30 Days" concentrate on programming fundamentals. A few are tied to a university, for example the Michigan State University‑offered "Game Design and Development with Unity," which may appeal to learners seeking academic credit. Review the brief descriptions below to match a course to your current skill level and learning goals.

How these 11 courses were chosen

Every course below is a real, currently listed course from Coursera, matched to "3d games" by our catalog and ordered by our CourseAsk score. Courses whose own title names the topic rank above those only tagged with it.

The grade on each entry scores how much the provider publishes about the course before you pay — the length and detail of the description, whether it lists learning outcomes and objectives — and whether a named university or institution stands behind it. A is fully documented and institution-backed; E is little more than a title and a price. Courses with almost nothing published are left ungraded rather than marked down, because an unknown course and a poor one are not the same thing.

There are no star ratings on this page — the course feeds we license do not include them, and we would rather leave a column out than fill it with a number we cannot stand behind. What we do have is price: these range from $49.00 to $49.00, as listed by the provider when we last updated the page.

What the prices here tell you

The 11 priced courses on this page run from $49.00 to $49.00, with the middle of the range around $49.00 — a spread of $0.00. The options are closely priced, so cost is unlikely to be your deciding factor. A higher price on this page usually reflects who is behind the course rather than how much material it contains, so it is worth opening two or three at different price points and comparing their syllabus before deciding.

Who is behind these courses

These courses come from Coursera. Everything on this page is sold on the one platform, so the buying experience is the same whichever you pick. 1 of these are produced by a named university or institution, including Michigan State University — which usually means a fixed syllabus and a recognised certificate, rather than an individual instructor’s own course.

Before you enrol

Open the provider’s own page and check three things this comparison cannot tell you: when the course was last updated, what the syllabus actually covers in its later sections, and what recent learners say. Prices shown here are the provider’s listed price when we last rebuilt this page on 18 September 2026 — they change often, and a promotion can move them substantially. We earn a commission if you enrol through our links, which costs you nothing and never affects the order courses appear in.

Frequently asked questions

What prior knowledge do I need for these Unity courses?
Most of the courses are designed for beginners and start with the basics of Unity and C#. If you already have some programming experience, you may find the scripting‑focused courses faster to progress through.
Are the courses suitable for mobile game development?
Yes, several courses explicitly cover Android game development, such as "Unity Android Game Development — Build Seven 2D and 3D Games" and "Master Unity Android Game Development in 30 Days". These will guide you through building and publishing games for mobile devices.
Do any of the courses offer a university credential?
Only one course mentions a university partner: "Game Design and Development with Unity" is offered by Michigan State University. This may provide a more academic perspective compared with the other provider‑only listings.
How long does it take to complete a course?
Course lengths are not specified, but titles such as "in 30 Days" suggest a month‑long commitment if you follow the suggested pace. Other courses may be more flexible, allowing you to work at your own speed.
